Edo Kiriko is cut glass with color on the outside and clear glass beneath. Every line you cut removes the colored layer and lets light through, so the pattern only appears as you work. Because a line cut too deep cannot be undone, the artisan stays at your shoulder throughout — with a dedicated English interpreter alongside.

◆ What to Expect

• Select your own glass from a daily changing stock of unique pieces
• Learn how the cutting wheel works, and practice safely with professional tools
• Cut your own original pattern into the glass, guided at every step
• Watch the color peel away and your design appear
• Take home your finished Edo Kiriko as a special keepsake
  Adults & middle school students: drinking glass
  *Elementary school children: lidded container

◆ Your Experience
On arrival, step into a working Edo Kiriko studio where craftsmen are actively engraving glass. After observing their techniques, you’ll practice with the tools before choosing your glass—each piece is one-of-a-kind and changes daily.

With staff guidance, you’ll cut your own pattern. Adults and older children will work on glasses, while younger children decorate lidded containers. The workshop is beginner-friendly and designed to make everyone feel comfortable, even first-timers.

Afterward, browse the on-site shop, where vibrant Edo Kiriko items are displayed. From classic motifs to modern collaborations with global brands like Starbucks, you’ll discover how Edo Kiriko continues to evolve.

◆ Who Can Join
This activity is suitable for participants from 4th grade elementary school and older. Adults must accompany children, though companions may observe without cutting. Whether traveling solo, with friends, or as a family, this is a memorable way to create your own Edo Kiriko in Tokyo.
